Dear Visitors, right from school days we will participate in many competitions like sports,writing and etc… The same way on the web there are many contests going on daily.But i won’t participate on all of those, just because i can’t ask my visitors to support me in each and every contest and Ofcourse participating in many contests won’t benefit me or my readers any more.

While going through the web, I noticed that people talking about the site called WordPresz.org. Its a fake site imitating official WordPress.org!. Quite surprised to see this right? Yes, till now we saw some sites faking banks like Citibank,HDFC and etc… But now its the turn of WordPress to face.

When I was asked to speak on how WordPress changes lives at WordCamp Portland in September of 2008, I was faced with a dilemma. While WordPress does change lives, blogging changes more lives. How do I connect the dots between WordPress and the life changing experience of blogging?
